Cerezo Osaka confirmed that the club is interested in ex-Cerezo player Hotaru Yamaguchi on Saturday.

Minoru Tamada, Chairman, said "I've heard that Hotaru wants to come back. If he really wants it, we'll do our best to it."

According to a Japanese media, the 25-year-old defensive midfielder has already told Hannover that he wishes to leave.

Hotaru transferred to Hannover in December 2015 and appeared in 6 games but couldn't have played for the team because of injury since this March. He wanted to stay at the German club before.

People talk about the transfer like this...

He should play in German league for at least one year. It may be harsh for him but these six months in Germany mean nothing for him if he comes back this early.

Don't turn back in Japan until you prove yourself there! I hate to see you Cerezo players being too friendly.

Oh no, they are too harsh for him!
